The remaining players who won't play against the Broncos at Empower Field at Mile High are EDGE Micah Parsons, who is on the PUP list; S Javon Bullard, who has an ankle issue; RB Josh Jacobs, who returned from a groin injury; WR Jayden Reed, who is recuperating from an ankle injury; CB Carrington Valentine, who recently recovered from a hamstring injury; LS Matt Orzech, another PUP; OL Zach Bako-Bewele, who recently rejoined the 11-on-11 practice; EDGE Dani Dennis-Sutton, who is still recovering from his heat-related illness; G Aaron Banks, who is back from a knee injury; OL Darian Kinnard, who is nursing an ankle injury; TE Tucker Kraft, who is also dealing with a knee injury; TE Luke Musgrave, who remains on the PUP list; DT Jordon Riley, who is on the PUP list; and DT Javon Hargrave, who has returned from a knee injury.
